Why Did I Make This Blog?

Image
By
I have been thinking for quite a while about just making my own blog that didn't have pictures of my kids, only my thoughts and testimony. I think it is more of my journal of writing down my thoughts of things that I've read or thoughts that come to me. It helps me to realize things better. I might not always make sense because I can't communicate as well as I'd like but hopefully my point gets out there to someone. It also helps me to have people comment. I would like anyone who isn't a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be able to ask questions or comment. I'm not interested in debating, only sharing what I believe.

I know that things that I testify of are true. I will not doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. I know without a doubt it is. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and is true. I know that when the Bible is translated correctly it is the truth. I know that we have a Prophet on the earth right now and the Lord communicates to us through him. I know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and restored the true church on this earth. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan and he loves us more than we can comprehend. He wants us to live with Him again. I am more grateful than I ever have been to know this. It brings me such happiness and guidance that helps me more than anything else on this earth can do.

Eternal Potential

By
"I am a child of God with a spirit lineage to heavenly parents. That parentage defines our eternal potential" (Elder Dallin H. Oaks). It is our faith that as sons and daughters of God, we have the potential to become like him. Satan likes it when we doubt this. He doesn't want us to believe we have potential to become better than we are. He wants us to fall. My question is whether it is my own mind that makes me doubt or if it is Satan. Maybe it's both. I do have the tendency to doubt that I could have so much potential.  I am always getting those voices in my head that give me doubt. I get an idea to do something and if I don't hurry and do it, I doubt myself, then I talk myself out of it. Why is it so easy to put ourselves down? Is that Satan or is it ourselves? I have so many ideas of things that I want to accomplish but I don't get them done because I can't keep that motivation. It's frustrating. I build my motivation again and then I lose it. It...

Light Bulb Moment

By
I am horrible with expressing my feelings. When it comes to telling people what I am thinking, half of the time I fail. There are many things that I know inside my brain. I know them to be true and I believe in them but when it comes to explaining why or how...I get all flustered and my brain shuts down. I have been asked a question many times. I've tried to answer it and I feel like I did a decent job, but this morning I found an example for the asnwer that made total sense to me. I'm still getting asked by my children so I'm excited that I have a great way to answer it now. The question is, "Why don't your forgive me and forget what I did? Why do I have to be punished?" I have always answered, "you have made this choice. This was your action. I forgive you but that doesn't mean that you are free from the consequence. My forgiveness has nothing to do with the consequences of your actions." While I was reading in Moses 6, it explained tha...

Elder Bednar

By
I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts from last night. I was really lucky to go and see Elder Bednar speak. He didn't prepare a talk, he just opened it up for questions. One of the questions was something like, "How can we apply the atonement more fully in our lives?" I was excited to hear his response when he mentioned my favorite scripture, Mosiah 3:19. He said that the natural man is selfish and wants whatever he desires right then and no later. It is hard to overcome the natural man. In fact we cannot do it on our own. We need the Saviors help to "become a saint" by applying the atonement to our lives. The atonement doesn't only deal with forgiveness for our sins. It gives strengthening power. Elder Bednar also went to Mosiah 24: 13-15. In verse 13 it mentions the covenants we make and the covenants that the Lord makes. The promises Heavenly Father has made to us when we do our part are so wonderful. I'm sure if I could remember those pr...
